My memory says that (C) before a paragraph represents “Confidential”. That (S) represents “Secret”. That (TS) represents “Top Secret”.
My experience is quite old, it might have changed, but back in the day that is what it was.

Still accurate.
Depends on the context, and I worked in classified IT up through last year, but whether confidential or classified, it still means “don’t send outside of special access channels, don’t share with the uncleared, for the love of God, don’t put it on an unprotected server where it could be read by anyone or sent to enemies on purpose so you could make money”.

You are correct. The (C) stands for CONFIDENTIAL when used to mark a paragraph. Confidential documents would also be marked with the full CONFIDENTIAL at the top and bottom of the page.
The other common marking are SCI which refers to Sensitive Compartmented Information and NOFORN meaning U.S. only and not to be shared with foreign governments or personnel.
Hillary certainly knows this. But Trump should beat her over the head with it anyway. (Pun definetly intended.) She is either too stupid or too brain damaged to understand classification markings. Take your choice Hillary.
